Method and system for communication control

Abstract

Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products for communication control. One such embodiment receives a telephone call from a plain old telephone service (POTS) device. The telephone call includes a telephone number corresponding to a destination device. Next, a ringing tone is provided to the POTS device and the telephone number is transmitted to a proxy agent. A message is received from the proxy agent. The message indicates that a telephonic connection has been established between the proxy agent and the destination device. Responsive to receiving the message from the proxy agent, a real-time communications connection between the POTS device and the destination device is created by providing answer signaling for the received telephone call to the POTS device.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
